Atlas of major Texas oil reservoirs | 1983 | The search for oil, its development, production, and marketing have, for the better part of a century, been a fundamental part of the Texas economy. The history of Texas oil finders, from the self-educated wildcatter to the highly trained explorationist, is a part of Texas lore. |

Petroleum source rock potential and thermal maturity, Palo Duro basin, Texas | 1980 | Samples collected from 20 geographically widespread wells in the sparsely drilled Palo Duro Basin were analyzed for total organic carbon content (TOC). Highest values of TOC, up to 6.9 percent, occur in Upper Permian San Andres dolomite in the southern part of the basin. |

Lower Permian facies of the Palo Duro basin, Texas: depositional systems, shelf-margin evolution, paleogeography, and petroleum potential | 1980 | Lower Permian (Wolfcampian) strata of the Palo Duro Basin consist of thick, terrigenous clastic and carbonate facies that were deposited in (1) fan-delta, (2) high-constructive delta, (3) carbonate shelf and shelf-margin, and (4) slope and basinal systems. |

Petroleum potential of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle | 1982 | The Palo Duro Basin seemingly has all the elements necessary for hydrocarbon generation and accumulation: reservoirs, traps, source rocks, and sufficient thermal maturity. Porous facies in pre-Pennsylvanian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian strata are potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. |

Sedimentary record of Cretaceous and Tertiary salt movement, east Texas basin: times, rates, and volumes of salt flow and their implications for nuclear waste isolation and petroleum exploration | 1984 | Post-Aptian strata (younger than 112 ma) in the East Texas Basin were strongly influenced by halokinesis and recorded the evolution associated sate structures. |

Stratigraphy and petroleum potential of pre-Pennsylvanian rocks, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle | 1985 | Pre-Pennsylvanian rocks in the Palo Duro Basin include (1) basal transgressive marine Cambrian(?) sandstones deposited over Precambrian basement, (2) overlying Lower Ordovician dolomites of the Ellenburger Group that formed when shallow seas covered much of the North American continent, and(3) Mi |
